There are about 13446 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Belgium. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the difference between proximal and distal CSF sampling. If the characteristics of distally and proximally sampled CSF are similar or correlate well, it may be possible to only sample CSF distally in the future, thereby avoiding the risks mentioned above.
Long COVID is a new phenomenon, in which individuals who experienced a SARS-CoV-2 infection still experience one or more symptoms, such as exercise intolerance, fatigue and/or muscle pains in addition to other COVID-related symptoms, weeks to months after initial infection. The aim of this pilot-study is to learn about which complaints patients continue to experience after their infection and how this affects their lives to a greater or lesser extent and whether a patient-tailored physical rehabilitation programme combined with individualised nutritional therapy leads to a faster recovery compared to a classic exercise program with the physiotherapist.
The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of standard treatment with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine with or without SBP-101 in subjects previously untreated for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), including subjects who have received prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment.
Finerenone works by blocking a group of proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptor. An increased stimulation of mineralocorticoid receptor is known to trigger injury and inflammation in the kidney and is therefore thought to play a role in CKD. Empagliflozin lowers blood sugar levels by increasing the excretion of glucose from the blood into the urine. In this study, the researchers want to learn how well the combination of finerenone and empagliflozin helps to slow down the worsening of the participants' kidney function compared to either treatment alone. For this, the level of protein in the urine will be measured. The investigators also want to know how safe the combination is compared to either treatment alone. Depending on the treatment group, the participants will either take the combination of finerenone and empagliflozin, or finerenone together with a placebo, or empagliflozin together with a placebo, once a day as tablets by mouth. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. Importantly, the participants will also continue to take their other current medicine for CKD and T2D. The participants will be in the study for up to 7.5 months and will take the study treatments for 6 months. During the study, participants will visit the study site 7 times. The study team will: - collect blood and urine samples - check the participants' vital signs - do a physical examination including height and weight - check the participants' heart health by using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - monitor the participants' blood pressure - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they may be having An adverse event is any problem that happens during the trial. Doctors keep track of all events that happen in trials, even if they do not think the events might be related to the study treatments.
Computed tomography (CT) has become an established tool in the diagnostic workup of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The availability of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) before the invasive procedure allows stratifying case complexity and can be used to improve patient selection for PCI, to plan and guide therapeutic interventions. Beyond the diagnostic and therapeutic phase, it helps to better organize the catheterization laboratory workflow. The P4 study is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, randomized study with a non-inferiority design of patients with an indication for PCI aiming at comparing clinical outcomes between two imaging strategies to guide PCI, being coronary CT-guided PCI strategy (investigational technology) and IVUS-guided PCI strategy (comparator). After identifying the presence of a significant coronary stenosis, the patient will be randomized either to CT- or IVUS-guided PCI groups. Both CT and IVUS-guided PCI will be performed following the P4 trial protocol. When the procedure is completed, post-PCI FFR will be measured. All patients will be followed in hospital, at 30 days (±15 days), 12 months (±1 month) and yearly until 5 year.
This study is being done to find out if tucatinib with other cancer drugs works better than standard of care to treat participants with HER2 positive colorectal cancer. This study will also test what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating your disease. Participants in this study have colorectal cancer that has spread through the body (metastatic) and/or cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable). Participants will be assigned randomly to the tucatinib group or standard of care group. The tucatinib group will get tucatinib, trastuzumab, and mFOLFOX6. The standard of care group will get either: - mFOLFOX6 alone, - mFOLFOX6 with bevacizumab, or - mFOLFOX6 with cetuximab mFOLFOX6 is a combination of multiple drugs. All of the drugs given in this study are used to treat this type of cancer.
Prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, international study designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Aveir™ Dual-Chamber (DR) Leadless Pacemaker system.
This pilot trial is designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of obtaining bone marrow from costal aspiration during surgery. The investigators hypothese that sufficient bone marrow-derived HSPC's (which represent only 0,1% of the total bone marrow fraction) can be derived by rib bone marrow aspiration for ex vivo single-cell evaluation, optimization of a 3D BMN platform and preclinical ex/in vivo assessment in patient-derived organoids and murine xenograft models.
This multicenter open-label trial is designed to evaluate if the implementation of an enhanced peri-operative care protocol results in an optimal intraoperative condition of the patient and in a decrease in incidence of anastomotic leakage after colorectal resection as compared to current practice.
